You can use Nessus with the AlienVault (openVAS) feed.

Or you can get a 15 day "demo" of the Tenable Professional feed, if this
is just a once-off scan.

If you're going to make a business out of this, the $1295/yr for Tenable
should be trivial compared to the revenues you could make while trying
to save $.

Hi all,

I have not done VA for a couple of years and now need again to do this
for a medium size company. Nessus became commercial (also if it is
possible to use it for limited activity). Some other free/OS software
went commercial. I am not going to do full pen-test, just want to
check for patching and high level vulnerability.

What is your experience with OpenVAS? Looking at the site is has a
limited number of Vulnerability Check compared to nesssus.

What software can I use for VA (the network is windoze in large parte
with some services implemented on Linux)? My choice are Free or very
cheap software.

Thank you.
Mamo
